If you were there in the garden when the Romans came to take him, what would you do? I've been torn on this before, and now I ask others. Would you defend Jesus? Remember that you would not have the advantage we do now, in knowing what was to come. Would you throw yourself between Jesus and the soldiers? Or would you stand aside as was Jesus will, and escape. I'm not sure I could be that strong, to simply turn and do as Jesus had instructed. I would so want to be taught by Him that I would wish to defend Him from such wickedness. I don't think I would have the strength to simply do as He said and remain away and alive. Perhaps I am no better than Peter, who then on his false courage, attacked with his sword, and snuck in to see Jesus, only to deny Him 3 times...what say you?
